by cdm72 cdm72 is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Books, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Aug 18 '08
Pros: Story, the writing.
Cons: Depressing as hell.
Dr. Louis Creed has just moved his family (wife Rachel, daughter Ellie, and son Gage) from Chicago to Ludlow, Maine where he’s about to start a job with the University of Maine. In the beginning things couldn’t seem more American Dream. They have a ...

PET SEMATARY gives new meaning to the term, 'Play dead'!

by wordwalker Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Mar 24 '02
Pros: Frightening, effective portrayal of grief, clever nomenclature
Cons: Plot flaws through which you could drive a truck, unnecessary announcements, POV problems
Here!

Here is the Stephen King book which had the scariest advance publicity. This was the one that 'spent years in a drawer before the author had the courage to publish it'. This was the one that 'scared the King himself'. Reading...

Here Kitty, Kitty.....umm...YOU don't look like kitty!

by kevlog , May 25 '02
Pros: Classic King nail-biter
Cons: You may never look at cats the same way
There's just so much to choose from when it comes to a Stephen King write-off. Should I do one of the great movies like 'The Green Mile'? Should I blast 'Cujo', a somewhat cheesy movie that made me laugh instead of quiver in fear, mainly due to my...

A Man's Heart Is Stonier, Louis Stephen King W/O

by fallyn96 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Aug 04 '01
Pros: King, still scares the heck out of me,
Cons: paperback books don't last.
Around the time that Misery was in the theaters, my uncle bought me my first Stephen King book. We were on vacation, and he bought me this book for the ride home. No big deal, right? Let's just say, that was the first book that kept me from...

Pet Sematary

by ezreka , Jun 18 '01
Pros: Stephen King is an excellent writer.
Cons: Those who have seen the movie might not read the book, but they need to!
I am reviewing the hardback book of Pet Sematary. Epinions is showing the audio cassette version, but when I click for more information about the book I am given that it is available in Audio Cassette (Analog Audio Cassette) • CD-ROM • Hardcover...

The cat came back....

by judy_lind , Oct 15 '04
Pros: A spooky little gem of a horror story. Be very, very afraid.
Cons: Don't read it to the kids at bedtime.
Once upon a time, Stephen King used to write tight, well-constructed novels into which you sunk in total absorption, turning page after page, unaware of the horror creeping up on you until it had you helpless in its fangs. Then, alas, King started to ...

This was supposed to be scary!?!!

by musicc , Jul 27 '06
Pros: Well written, cool ending
Cons: Weak climax, boring, not scary or suspenseful
Pet Sematary was the second book I read by Stephen King. I will read more of his books in the future that are probably going to be The Stand and Carrie. Pet Sematary got great reviews and was said to be very scary. Hoping to be ...

I Don't Want To Be Buried In a Pet Sematary

by grandpa_riot , Nov 02 '03
Pros: Great story telling, philosophy
Cons: Too long for its plot, too much pointless filler
Stephen King is well known for his chilling style of writing, his creepy tales, and the sexuality in his books. This is true in pretty much all of his books, even the ones that are a far cry from horror novels. So, when I purchased Pet Sematary, I ...

The Downward Spiral

by TheUnknown285 , May 30 '01
Pros: Thought-provoking, Scary
Cons: Disturbing, I mean very disturbing
If you've read my other book reviews, you have probably figured out I'm a Stephen King fan. I already have three reviews of his books.

This was the third King book I read. After reading The Shining, which I thought and still think...

The King puts on a disappointing show

by mynameiskenny , Dec 31 '02
Pros: The ending
Cons: Most of the stuff before the ending
Maybe I’m making a mistake, reviewing a book (which is not really my forte), not to mention one that I haven’t looked at in four or five years. But after seeing all the four and five-star reviews for this book, I had to throw my two cents in....

Sometimes, Dead Is Better

by TRISMEGISTOS , Jun 08 '00
Pros: A real break from King's usual themes
Cons: Ask someone else..I'm still twitching..
Let me start by saying that Stephen King was disgusted at himself for writing this book, even after all the research and cross-referencing and notes that he put forth in the name of this story that was inspired by an actual pet cemetery kept up by...

King's ultimate nightmare of death and ruin

by s_trimble , Mar 19 '00
Pros: King at his best, scaring you witless
Cons: Being scared witless might not be so much fun for some
This novel, the gripping, stupefyingly scary Pet Sematary, is Stephen King at his primal best. In some of his works, especially later projects like The Dark Tower series, King has been known to get ambitious; he writes about the death of...

The soil of a man's heart is stonier

Pros: dark and frightening look at death and it's importance in life
Cons: none
Pet sematary is a story about death. Death of a pet, death of a lover, death of a child, death of a friend. It is about realizing that it can't be taken back.

this is the novel that scared the author himself, it's scary to face death and your...
